Edha (2018) s01e01 Episode Script
The Mark of Revenge
1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES [EDHA.]
They say that in the fashion world only appearances matter colors, textures, shapes.
Beauty is a covering.
A mask that protects us from ourselves.
Since my mother Inés died, I've learned to wear that mask.
I've made it my best friend.
On nights like this, I miss her the most.
I've done this hundreds of times, but tonight is different.
Tonight my brand's future is at stake.
So is my name.
What do I do? - Mom, what do I do? - Take it off.
- Here? - Yes, there's no time, take it off.
[EDHA.]
That's Elena, my daughter, my only love.
- Make the zipper stronger.
- [ANTONIO.]
Done.
Do it again, I want her to walk down the catwalk easily.
- [ANTONIO.]
OK.
- Your dad's here.
[EDHA.]
Tonight is her first runway show.
I'm more nervous than she is.
Put lotion all over your body.
They can tell, really, trust me.
What do I tell your dad? I want to see her with the shoes on.
[EDHA.]
The dress she's wearing is inspired in my mother's work.
She never met her.
Good evening, everyone! [EDHA.]
He's Lorenzo, my business associate and my father.
Enchanté to meet you, Edha.
There's André, come here André, Edha.
[EDHA.]
Every comment, every gesture, everything is planned.
I design, he sells.
The rules are clear.
According to my father, salvation lies in these guys' hands.
I should smile at them, at least a little.
That's Paloma, my main competitor.
That isn't even her real name.
Everything about her is fake.
But what is real here? AnÃbal has been with us since forever.
He carries stuff.
Bring me the shoes from the silver suitcase.
Come on! [EDHA.]
My father has a soft spot for him.
Please, take the investors for a drink.
Now.
- Get Paloma out of there.
- That's not what we agreed.
Honey, putting this together wasn't free.
We're broke, please understand.
Don't talk business to me right now.
I need to focus.
[EDHA.]
Antonio, my only friend, is my right hand and creative partner.
I'd marry him, but he already has a husband, Ronnie.
[ANTONIO.]
Ah! [EDHA.]
In here everything looks perfect, beautiful, unique.
But some things are hidden between the seams and others we choose not to see.
[TEO.]
Do you have it or not? [MANITO.]
We're swamped, brother, I couldn't finish your stuff.
- How much merchandise are we short? - Half.
- I have to deliver it today.
- It's all I could get.
You'll have the rest.
Medina let me pay off my debt with clothes because he knows I've got no other way.
He won't take half.
You don't know him.
It's been a while since I've been here.
Yeah.
How many people do you have here? It's dangerous.
Dangerous is your business with Medina.
Make do with that.
[ANTONIO.]
Sorry, I tripped.
There are too many people here.
- Tell her the truth.
- Shut up.
- What are you doing here? - It was me.
I came to help - You clearly can't help! Get out! - Wait outside.
You want me to bring the other one? It's a unique piece! What other one? It's all right now.
Calm down.
Calm down? It's over.
Call it off.
What? Edha.
Edha! [EDHA.]
I'm not designing another dress for my daughter.
There it is.
[TRUCK DOOR SLAMS.]
What are you doing here? You couldn't get anyone else? - Celia, go home.
- No.
Shall we? You're a lifesaver.
That's what brothers are for.
Come here with me.
A proper job, a future.
- A future? In there? - [CELIA.]
Hey! [MOTOR REVS.]
We've been together for a long time and still you didn't say anything to Manito.
If he catches us, it'll be worse.
- I can't, Celia.
- You have to talk to your brother.
- Shall I tell him? - I can't tell him we're together.
Especially not today.
I haven't got the batch for Medina.
I'm missing half.
You know what they did to that kid? Did you tell Manito? Did you tell him how much you needed? Yeah, but they're working flat out.
That's all they could get.
- I'm going with you.
- Are you crazy? You drop me there, and leave.
[CELIA.]
You're scared.
[SIGHS.]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Have a great time.
- What do I do? - Let me see you.
[CLOTH RIPS.]
[EDHA.]
Trust me, love.
Everything will be all right.
[EDHA.]
What do you think? I love it.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS.]
Bravo, Elena.
Bravo! [CROWD APPLAUSES.]
- What is Jáuregui doing here? - What? My dad, who invited him? I don't know.
Don't talk on the runway, people are watching.
There's merchandise missing here - We agreed to two parts.
- We didn't agree anything.
You forgot.
This is the first part That's not what you told me.
You'll have the rest.
You know I'm good for it.
No, you're not.
You're screwing with me, I don't like it.
Keep your word or fight.
Are you in my weight class? Don't fuck around or I'll break your legs.
- It's all right.
- No, it's not all right, it's bad.
In this country, we don't like being screwed.
Now scram, before I want to fuck you.
Why didn't you tell me Jáuregui was here? Because I didn't know.
You were amazing.
Don't let it ruin your night.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Oops, sorry.
- Hello.
- Hello.
[JÃUREGUI.]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I came to see you, exclusively.
- OK.
- [JÃUREGUI.]
I loved it.
You're beautiful, Elena.
Shall we have dinner tonight? - I'm with Mom.
- Well, tomorrow perhaps.
- Or maybe - We'll see.
It's very aggressive of you, turning up here.
Aggressive is going to a public event to see my daughter.
She has to change.
Elena, I don't know what your mother's told you - but you're not a girl anymore.
- Obviously not.
[EDHA.]
The danger is no longer falling out of bed.
You missed all that.
Now there are other dangers.
Men like you, for instance.
It would be good to create your own version.
- Are you done? - Elena is my daughter too.
I'll get her back.
You can't get back what was never yours.
We'll see.
Goodbye, Elena.
- Bye.
- I'll call you.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
Are you interested in a T-shirt? It's good quality! No? Good quality.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[POLICE SIREN.]
And the flowers? In the car.
- I didn't see them.
- In the trunk.
You want them now, Ele? They'll wilt in there.
I'll be right back, you can start.
[POLICE SIREN, TIRES SCREECH.]
[OFFICER 1.]
Stop, stop! Don't move, OK? - Where are you from, dude? - From here! - Is that so? - I have residency, look at my ID.
- Another rat come to steal from us.
- [TEO.]
I'm working.
Why did you run then? I got scared.
It's complicated.
[OFFICER 2.]
You're complicated.
Turn around and open your bag.
- [OFFICER 1.]
Open your bag.
- [OFFICER 2.]
Don't move.
[TEO.]
They're T-shirts, good quality stuff, good stitching.
[TEO.]
Want one for your wife? I live off this.
[TEO.]
Your size.
[OFFICER 2.]
We have to take you in for illegal sales.
- Where did you get these? - [TEO.]
From a factory.
We can sort this.
Scram.
Out of my sight, rat.
Beat it! Here.
What you do is wrong.
I live off this.
Me too.
You got off easy.
Next time, you'll sleep in the station.
And I'll beat you up.
[MOTOR STARTS.]
You're staying for Fashion Week, right? We came for that actually.
By the way, we love your granddaughter.
Your daughter.
A young face for the brand, we're excited.
Today's thing was unusual.
A special event, mothers and daughters.
At Fashion Week, you'll see something you'll like.
Tell them about the concept of the collection.
Yes.
It's all based on and inspired No, no, no.
In the fashion world, no one eats.
If it has eyes, I don't eat it.
- I already ordered something for you.
- Thank you.
I just sent pictures to my wife and she loved your part.
We talked to your father about the possibility of you creating an export sample, about 500 garments in parallel to Fashion Week.
The idea is to adapt them, of course.
We'll keep the concept, the design, and think about the production scale.
"Adapt" is something I'm not accustomed to do.
It will be ready by next week.
Excuse me.
We don't doubt her artistic capacity, not at all.
We want to confirm her production capacity.
Edha, what are you doing out here? I was suffocating in there.
I need air.
And we need them.
That's why we're here.
I can't talk business or charm anyone.
I've done my part.
It's your turn.
- I can't do any more.
- What were you thinking? What were you thinking? Do you know what day it is? It's 20 years since my mother committed suicide.
Your wife, remember? [SIGHS.]
- I miss her too.
- You're lucky then.
I barely remember her.
She was my age when she died.
We need partners, Edha.
Capital.
That's how this works.
We're broke.
Please, let's go back to the table - I don't need anything.
- What is it? - They're leaving.
- We'll do the sample all the same.
- They don't want it.
- Do it! From one day to the next, we become insects.
It's never one day to the next.
[EDGY MUSIC.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
- He won't come? - No.
[DOG YELPS.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[DOG YELPS.]
Get the dog out.
The dog won't tell Manito.
Keep going.
And you? When are you going to tell him? Not yet.
Where will I get what I owe? Manito won't stop giving you clothes.
If I don't pay, Medina will kill me.
Do you want me killed? We can't keep hiding like this.
- Get the dog out.
- OK.
[DOG YELPS.]
[MANITO.]
Board up the window.
No one can see what we do.
[ISMAEL.]
I need tools to fix that, Manito.
It's impossible without tools.
Even I could do it with tools.
Anyone could.
We're already on it.
Little by little, we're fixing the factory.
Have you been going out? No, no one goes out.
Anyone been asking questions outside? I think the factory's being watched.
I haven't seen anything strange.
- You, Ismael? - No.
This isn't a hotel for people to come and go.
[ANÃBAL.]
No one can know we have a working factory here.
AnÃbal, I know how to handle it.
You sure? I wasn't born yesterday.
Watch it.
I'm going up.
Let's take this upstairs.
[CAR HORN BEEPS.]
[BIRDS TWITTER.]
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school? I felt really sick, so I stayed.
- Do you want me to stay? - No.
Your dad's flowers are nice.
[EDHA.]
Call me if you need anything.
I love you.
ELENA, IT'S ME, DAD.
LET'S TALK? SAVE [LORENZO.]
We need to produce the samples to persuade the investors.
We need money.
[SIGHS.]
We'll sell your mother's work, and you're going to help me.
Odette won't agree.
The work is hers too.
We'll have to try.
I haven't seen her for years.
Well Everyone's needs change at some point.
[EDHA.]
Odette was my mother's shadow, her alter ego, her artistic partner.
Since Inés's death, I stopped seeing her.
I distanced myself until today.
a totally mediocre artist who thought he'd invented Land Art.
- I know him.
- A copycat but he made a fortune.
[LORENZO.]
I still think the same.
All artists care about is money, they're all crooks.
Except my daughter.
Thanks for that deference.
Your father's always been a total pragmatist.
Do you know his story? Yes, a son of immigrants, poor, skilled in business, intuitive with horses, an important businessman, wealthy.
At least until now.
Yes, but now I'm broke and it's not metaphorical.
I need to sell.
At least half the series.
I can't think about that right now.
[ODETTE.]
We'll talk after the exhibition.
I can't wait.
[LORENZO.]
I don't know, ten pieces.
You'll have to learn to wait.
[ODETTE.]
Money isn't more important than my inspiration.
- [WHISPERS.]
Fucking bitch! - Let us talk alone.
[LORENZO.]
I'll wait in the car.
[ODETTE.]
That collection is your mother's best work.
You've never seen that collection.
I don't like it, I don't want to see it.
Don't like it or don't want to see it? Both.
How can you sell something you don't know? You have to see this before you decide.
Now you can decide.
[ODETTE.]
I'll give you this one.
Half's already yours.
I want you and Lorenzo to be at my inauguration.
There's no art without you two.
[ODETTE.]
We'll talk more later.
[CAMERA LENS SOUNDS.]
[CAMERA LENS SOUNDS.]
[INHALES SLOWLY.]
Mom! What are you doing? [BREATHES HEAVILY.]
It's all right.
[INÃS.]
It's nothing, darling.
[INÃS BREATHES HEAVILY.]
- [MANITO.]
Where's Celia? - [TEO.]
How should I know? We're not talking about Celia.
Don't involve her in your business.
She was looking at me yesterday.
I think she has feelings for me.
It's blue.
Blue.
Listen to me and get a job.
Try to be someone, ever think about that? - No.
- [MANITO.]
You should.
Come to cutting, you'd do well.
I'm not working here.
- No? - No.
But with a gun in your hand you do? Do whatever the fuck you want! - I won't look after you.
- I look after you.
- Does Celia know you came? - Shut up about Celia.
- I'm the foreman, we're not at home.
- Fuck home! I can't be with Celia at home because of my brother who doesn't want to see that we're together.
Well, Celia and me have had enough! We're together.
Is that clear? What the fuck are you looking at? Keep sewing! The engine overheated.
Turn on the fan, it's there for a reason! [SEWING MACHINES SPIN, FANS BLOW.]
All this for you.
- Dad? - Hmm? Can you give me a doctor's note for school? I want to go on one of those cooking shows, I love them.
- [DELFINA.]
So trashy.
- You watch them! - That's not true.
- I saw you! Old people watch TV.
Will you write me a note? I can't right now.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Sebi's here.
Let's go.
- Give me one, I'll fill it in.
- I can't do that.
- Wait, don't go without tasting it! - Sebi's here! He gets here and you go? You don't do that with me.
With you? - I'll try it.
- Very well! Give me the plate.
- I can't eat all that.
- Share it with Delfi.
- And the plate? - The house can take the loss.
OK, I'll bring it back.
How could you do this to me? I love you, but in a different way.
Either you love someone or you don't, Celia.
- You cheated on me with my brother! - I didn't cheat on you.
- No? - No! It's a long time since we were together, you've got to find somebody new.
I thought you were playing hard to get, you used me.
Where are you going? Hey! [CELIA.]
You'll stir shit up.
Don't! [TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Why did you tell him like that? - That's how it came out.
Give that fucking dog to Medina.
I'm not giving you any more clothes.
I did so many things for you, things that no one does.
- What did you do for Celia? - Leave him to me! What did you do for her? Talk.
Ask her.
She can tell you.
You can both forget about Manito Forever.
I'm dead to you now.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
[GRUNTS.]
He'll get over it You don't know Manito, he won't forgive me.
[TEO.]
Without him, I have no clothes.
[MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES.]
Hi, love.
- Elena! - What is it? I want to show you something.
What is it? One of Inés's last works.
[EDHA.]
Look! Isn't that the dress I wore for the runway? This was my inspiration.
What is it? What are you thinking? - Do you think I should see him? - Who? My dad.
- Is it OK if I see him? - No It won't do you any good.
That's all.
The phases are all balanced.
I put in a 380 switchboard.
All top class.
Are you OK? Yes.
Are you stupid? We need to be alert! I just saw a suspicious car outside.
Let's do things right.
We all have a job to do.
Are we all good? - We're good.
- Good.
[DA RAMOS.]
A district attorney is ordering you to do it.
No.
Take care of the ruling, and find out Judge Mirolli's sentence.
Perfect, but until he announces the sentence, don't move forward.
And don't forget about the reports on the sweatshops, 8th district.
OK? See you at the attorney general's office.
Hi, love.
I got your message.
I'll bring the diapers.
I'm coming, I haven't smoked all day.
[KNOCKING ON WINDOW.]
- Do you need something? - No, no.
Watch out, at night it gets heavy here.
There are thieves.
[MOTOR STARTS.]
[EDHA.]
Sometimes, seeing what you don't want to see opens your eyes to what you actually need to do.
Inés still shows me the way through her artwork.
Lorenzo, I know what I have to do now.
Call the investors.
We'll do what they asked, but we'll do it my way.
- Medina? - He's inside, go look for him.
Go on.
[RAP MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO.]
[RATTLES DOOR.]
How are you, baby? I'm late with your money.
I'm good for it, you know.
I heard the cops caught you with clothes.
A couple of T-shirts to get by.
[MEDINA.]
I hear you've been telling the cops stuff.
Was that to get by? What did I say? "Medina.
" When the cops leaned on you, you said, "Medina.
" No, I didn't say that.
Really? I don't know you.
That's not how it works.
Did he say "Medina" or not? Yes, he said it.
I didn't say it.
No one says my name.
Like those who can't name God? The Jews.
They can use other names, but they can't say "God.
" Don't bust my balls, Medina.
Tell me if you can wait for the payment or not.
But I didn't say it.
You're screwing me around.
You're ungrateful and you're disrespecting me.
You're lucky you have a nice ass.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
They cut out your tongue? [TELEPHONE RINGS.]
[EDHA.]
Where are you? Shall I wait inside? I'm still working.
[ANTONIO.]
We promised the investors more than we can make.
[EDHA.]
Seriously? I want you here with me.
Can't Florencia go? - [ANTONIO.]
No, she can't.
- I can't believe you're not coming.
Antonio isn't coming.
You're with me.
You don't need anybody else.
Everyone is so dreadfully dressed.
[CHUCKLES.]
It's starting.
[EDHA.]
Now I talk Odette into selling Mom's work.
[BELL SOUNDS.]
I need everybody at work.
Here, resting, sleeping, I don't care.
Bring everyone.
You know how important this job is? Have you seen the state of this factory? It's packed.
It's not big enough.
So you're an engineer now? Do whatever it takes.
Cut the shifts, get more people, get more machines, whatever it takes.
Have you been drinking? [ANTONIO.]
Have you been drinking? What is it? [ANTONIO.]
Go on.
Work.
[DISTANT POLICE SIREN.]
[WHISTLING.]
[WHISTLES.]
[GLASS SHATTERS.]
[LOUD EXPLOSION.]
[EDHA.]
To Odette, art and life were a single entity.
She conceived her body as part of her work.
She put it at risk and danced with death.
She pushed it to its breaking point.
Being close to her is like being close to my mother and to her death.
[EDHA.]
This is not art.
This time is real.
Odette killed herself.
There's nothing beautiful in this death.
It's cold and cruel, like my mother's.
I know she wanted me to see it, to be there, to witness her suicide.
Why? [SCREAMS.]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
[GLASS BREAKS, SCREAMING.]
[SIRENS.]
[ANTONIO.]
We're in a hurry.
OK, OK, OK.
[CAR DOOR SHUTS.]
[EDHA.]
"Your money isn't more important than my inspiration," she said.
She wanted you there.
Odette thought out her work in advance, she set it up.
"Work"? She killed herself.
Without us, her work had no meaning.
What do you mean? I'm saying that there's a message for us in what we saw.
With her artwork, the only thing she did was make us relive your mother's death.
And she prohibited us from selling her work.
There's your message.
Everyone's busy.
The new stuff will have to wait.
No way, Antonio.
We have to get to Fashion Week.
What we had was good.
There's no time to innovate.
We promised a capsule to the investors.
The usual factories are swamped.
The new ones won't finance us.
Let's move forward however we can, Antonio.
Please take her out of the house.
I don't want her locked in here again.
We'll do it here.
- What? - The factory.
The capsule collection is inspired by Inés.
Where better than here? You'll have to talk to your dad first.
Don't you think I'm too old to ask my dad for permission? There are things you don't know.
What things? The sweatshop that burned down worked for us.
FIRE IN SWEATSHOP Manuel Zuñiga, is he your brother? [CELIA SIGHS HEAVILY.]
That's not my brother.
It's what's left of him.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
Let's go.
Hey, you! - [EL PIJA.]
Hey! - Teo.
Teo! You're leaving without saying a word? What do you want me to say? - That you'll take responsibility.
- What? You brother was boss, look what happened.
People work in these shitty sweatshops that catch fire! - My brother was one! - He was foreman! Stop! It's the fault of the company that ran the sweatshop.
- Who do you know in there? - I'm supporting the locals.
It's easy to blame a dead man.
That won't happen here.
I'll make sure of it.
[CELIA.]
Let's go.
[CELIA.]
Let me through, buddy.
[EDHA.]
My father always protected me from the truth.
But secrets come to light sooner or later.
Silent tragedies, anonymous deaths.
People who, somewhere, lose their lives for a label, for a brand.
Until one day someone says "enough" and decides to cross that invisible line, to open up the seams, to step out of the shadows.
SUBTITLED BY: JONATHAN HEMMING
They say that in the fashion world only appearances matter colors, textures, shapes.
Beauty is a covering.

Since my mother Inés died, I've learned to wear that mask.

Tonight my brand's future is at stake.
So is my name.
What do I do? - Mom, what do I do? - Take it off.
- Here? - Yes, there's no time, take it off.
[EDHA.]
That's Elena, my daughter, my only love.
- Make the zipper stronger.
- [ANTONIO.]
Done.
Do it again, I want her to walk down the catwalk easily.
- [ANTONIO.]
OK.
- Your dad's here.
[EDHA.]
Tonight is her first runway show.
I'm more nervous than she is.
Put lotion all over your body.
They can tell, really, trust me.
What do I tell your dad? I want to see her with the shoes on.
[EDHA.]
The dress she's wearing is inspired in my mother's work.
She never met her.
Good evening, everyone! [EDHA.]
He's Lorenzo, my business associate and my father.
Enchanté to meet you, Edha.
There's André, come here André, Edha.
[EDHA.]
Every comment, every gesture, everything is planned.
I design, he sells.
The rules are clear.
According to my father, salvation lies in these guys' hands.
I should smile at them, at least a little.
That's Paloma, my main competitor.
That isn't even her real name.
Everything about her is fake.
But what is real here? AnÃbal has been with us since forever.
He carries stuff.
Bring me the shoes from the silver suitcase.
Come on! [EDHA.]
My father has a soft spot for him.
Please, take the investors for a drink.
Now.
- Get Paloma out of there.
- That's not what we agreed.
Honey, putting this together wasn't free.
We're broke, please understand.
Don't talk business to me right now.
I need to focus.
[EDHA.]
Antonio, my only friend, is my right hand and creative partner.
I'd marry him, but he already has a husband, Ronnie.
[ANTONIO.]
Ah! [EDHA.]
In here everything looks perfect, beautiful, unique.
But some things are hidden between the seams and others we choose not to see.
[TEO.]
Do you have it or not? [MANITO.]
We're swamped, brother, I couldn't finish your stuff.
- How much merchandise are we short? - Half.
- I have to deliver it today.
- It's all I could get.
You'll have the rest.
Medina let me pay off my debt with clothes because he knows I've got no other way.
He won't take half.
You don't know him.
It's been a while since I've been here.
Yeah.
How many people do you have here? It's dangerous.
Dangerous is your business with Medina.
Make do with that.
[ANTONIO.]
Sorry, I tripped.
There are too many people here.
- Tell her the truth.
- Shut up.
- What are you doing here? - It was me.
I came to help - You clearly can't help! Get out! - Wait outside.
You want me to bring the other one? It's a unique piece! What other one? It's all right now.
Calm down.
Calm down? It's over.
Call it off.
What? Edha.
Edha! [EDHA.]
I'm not designing another dress for my daughter.
There it is.
[TRUCK DOOR SLAMS.]
What are you doing here? You couldn't get anyone else? - Celia, go home.
- No.
Shall we? You're a lifesaver.
That's what brothers are for.
Come here with me.
A proper job, a future.
- A future? In there? - [CELIA.]
Hey! [MOTOR REVS.]
We've been together for a long time and still you didn't say anything to Manito.
If he catches us, it'll be worse.
- I can't, Celia.
- You have to talk to your brother.
- Shall I tell him? - I can't tell him we're together.
Especially not today.
I haven't got the batch for Medina.
I'm missing half.
You know what they did to that kid? Did you tell Manito? Did you tell him how much you needed? Yeah, but they're working flat out.
That's all they could get.
- I'm going with you.
- Are you crazy? You drop me there, and leave.
[CELIA.]
You're scared.
[SIGHS.]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Have a great time.
- What do I do? - Let me see you.
[CLOTH RIPS.]
[EDHA.]
Trust me, love.
Everything will be all right.
[EDHA.]
What do you think? I love it.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS.]
Bravo, Elena.
Bravo! [CROWD APPLAUSES.]
- What is Jáuregui doing here? - What? My dad, who invited him? I don't know.
Don't talk on the runway, people are watching.
There's merchandise missing here - We agreed to two parts.
- We didn't agree anything.
You forgot.
This is the first part That's not what you told me.
You'll have the rest.
You know I'm good for it.
No, you're not.
You're screwing with me, I don't like it.
Keep your word or fight.
Are you in my weight class? Don't fuck around or I'll break your legs.
- It's all right.
- No, it's not all right, it's bad.
In this country, we don't like being screwed.
Now scram, before I want to fuck you.
Why didn't you tell me Jáuregui was here? Because I didn't know.
You were amazing.
Don't let it ruin your night.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Oops, sorry.
- Hello.
- Hello.
[JÃUREGUI.]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I came to see you, exclusively.
- OK.
- [JÃUREGUI.]
I loved it.
You're beautiful, Elena.
Shall we have dinner tonight? - I'm with Mom.
- Well, tomorrow perhaps.
- Or maybe - We'll see.
It's very aggressive of you, turning up here.
Aggressive is going to a public event to see my daughter.
She has to change.
Elena, I don't know what your mother's told you - but you're not a girl anymore.
- Obviously not.
[EDHA.]
The danger is no longer falling out of bed.
You missed all that.
Now there are other dangers.
Men like you, for instance.
It would be good to create your own version.
- Are you done? - Elena is my daughter too.
I'll get her back.
You can't get back what was never yours.
We'll see.
Goodbye, Elena.
- Bye.
- I'll call you.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
Are you interested in a T-shirt? It's good quality! No? Good quality.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[POLICE SIREN.]
And the flowers? In the car.
- I didn't see them.
- In the trunk.
You want them now, Ele? They'll wilt in there.
I'll be right back, you can start.
[POLICE SIREN, TIRES SCREECH.]
[OFFICER 1.]
Stop, stop! Don't move, OK? - Where are you from, dude? - From here! - Is that so? - I have residency, look at my ID.
- Another rat come to steal from us.
- [TEO.]
I'm working.
Why did you run then? I got scared.
It's complicated.
[OFFICER 2.]
You're complicated.
Turn around and open your bag.
- [OFFICER 1.]
Open your bag.
- [OFFICER 2.]
Don't move.
[TEO.]
They're T-shirts, good quality stuff, good stitching.
[TEO.]
Want one for your wife? I live off this.
[TEO.]
Your size.
[OFFICER 2.]
We have to take you in for illegal sales.
- Where did you get these? - [TEO.]
From a factory.
We can sort this.
Scram.
Out of my sight, rat.
Beat it! Here.
What you do is wrong.
I live off this.
Me too.
You got off easy.
Next time, you'll sleep in the station.
And I'll beat you up.
[MOTOR STARTS.]
You're staying for Fashion Week, right? We came for that actually.
By the way, we love your granddaughter.
Your daughter.
A young face for the brand, we're excited.
Today's thing was unusual.
A special event, mothers and daughters.
At Fashion Week, you'll see something you'll like.
Tell them about the concept of the collection.
Yes.
It's all based on and inspired No, no, no.
In the fashion world, no one eats.
If it has eyes, I don't eat it.
- I already ordered something for you.
- Thank you.
I just sent pictures to my wife and she loved your part.
We talked to your father about the possibility of you creating an export sample, about 500 garments in parallel to Fashion Week.
The idea is to adapt them, of course.
We'll keep the concept, the design, and think about the production scale.
"Adapt" is something I'm not accustomed to do.
It will be ready by next week.
Excuse me.
We don't doubt her artistic capacity, not at all.
We want to confirm her production capacity.
Edha, what are you doing out here? I was suffocating in there.
I need air.
And we need them.
That's why we're here.
I can't talk business or charm anyone.
I've done my part.
It's your turn.
- I can't do any more.
- What were you thinking? What were you thinking? Do you know what day it is? It's 20 years since my mother committed suicide.
Your wife, remember? [SIGHS.]
- I miss her too.
- You're lucky then.
I barely remember her.
She was my age when she died.
We need partners, Edha.
Capital.
That's how this works.
We're broke.
Please, let's go back to the table - I don't need anything.
- What is it? - They're leaving.
- We'll do the sample all the same.
- They don't want it.
- Do it! From one day to the next, we become insects.
It's never one day to the next.
[EDGY MUSIC.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
- He won't come? - No.
[DOG YELPS.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[DOG YELPS.]
Get the dog out.
The dog won't tell Manito.
Keep going.
And you? When are you going to tell him? Not yet.
Where will I get what I owe? Manito won't stop giving you clothes.
If I don't pay, Medina will kill me.
Do you want me killed? We can't keep hiding like this.
- Get the dog out.
- OK.
[DOG YELPS.]
[MANITO.]
Board up the window.
No one can see what we do.
[ISMAEL.]
I need tools to fix that, Manito.
It's impossible without tools.
Even I could do it with tools.
Anyone could.
We're already on it.
Little by little, we're fixing the factory.
Have you been going out? No, no one goes out.
Anyone been asking questions outside? I think the factory's being watched.
I haven't seen anything strange.
- You, Ismael? - No.
This isn't a hotel for people to come and go.
[ANÃBAL.]
No one can know we have a working factory here.
AnÃbal, I know how to handle it.
You sure? I wasn't born yesterday.
Watch it.
I'm going up.
Let's take this upstairs.
[CAR HORN BEEPS.]
[BIRDS TWITTER.]
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school? I felt really sick, so I stayed.
- Do you want me to stay? - No.
Your dad's flowers are nice.
[EDHA.]
Call me if you need anything.
I love you.
ELENA, IT'S ME, DAD.
LET'S TALK? SAVE [LORENZO.]
We need to produce the samples to persuade the investors.
We need money.
[SIGHS.]
We'll sell your mother's work, and you're going to help me.
Odette won't agree.
The work is hers too.
We'll have to try.
I haven't seen her for years.
Well Everyone's needs change at some point.
[EDHA.]
Odette was my mother's shadow, her alter ego, her artistic partner.
Since Inés's death, I stopped seeing her.
I distanced myself until today.
a totally mediocre artist who thought he'd invented Land Art.
- I know him.
- A copycat but he made a fortune.
[LORENZO.]
I still think the same.
All artists care about is money, they're all crooks.
Except my daughter.
Thanks for that deference.
Your father's always been a total pragmatist.
Do you know his story? Yes, a son of immigrants, poor, skilled in business, intuitive with horses, an important businessman, wealthy.
At least until now.
Yes, but now I'm broke and it's not metaphorical.
I need to sell.
At least half the series.
I can't think about that right now.
[ODETTE.]
We'll talk after the exhibition.
I can't wait.
[LORENZO.]
I don't know, ten pieces.
You'll have to learn to wait.
[ODETTE.]
Money isn't more important than my inspiration.
- [WHISPERS.]
Fucking bitch! - Let us talk alone.
[LORENZO.]
I'll wait in the car.
[ODETTE.]
That collection is your mother's best work.
You've never seen that collection.
I don't like it, I don't want to see it.
Don't like it or don't want to see it? Both.
How can you sell something you don't know? You have to see this before you decide.
Now you can decide.
[ODETTE.]
I'll give you this one.
Half's already yours.
I want you and Lorenzo to be at my inauguration.
There's no art without you two.
[ODETTE.]
We'll talk more later.
[CAMERA LENS SOUNDS.]
[CAMERA LENS SOUNDS.]
[INHALES SLOWLY.]
Mom! What are you doing? [BREATHES HEAVILY.]
It's all right.
[INÃS.]
It's nothing, darling.
[INÃS BREATHES HEAVILY.]
- [MANITO.]
Where's Celia? - [TEO.]
How should I know? We're not talking about Celia.
Don't involve her in your business.
She was looking at me yesterday.
I think she has feelings for me.
It's blue.
Blue.
Listen to me and get a job.
Try to be someone, ever think about that? - No.
- [MANITO.]
You should.
Come to cutting, you'd do well.
I'm not working here.
- No? - No.
But with a gun in your hand you do? Do whatever the fuck you want! - I won't look after you.
- I look after you.
- Does Celia know you came? - Shut up about Celia.
- I'm the foreman, we're not at home.
- Fuck home! I can't be with Celia at home because of my brother who doesn't want to see that we're together.
Well, Celia and me have had enough! We're together.
Is that clear? What the fuck are you looking at? Keep sewing! The engine overheated.
Turn on the fan, it's there for a reason! [SEWING MACHINES SPIN, FANS BLOW.]
All this for you.
- Dad? - Hmm? Can you give me a doctor's note for school? I want to go on one of those cooking shows, I love them.
- [DELFINA.]
So trashy.
- You watch them! - That's not true.
- I saw you! Old people watch TV.
Will you write me a note? I can't right now.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Sebi's here.
Let's go.
- Give me one, I'll fill it in.
- I can't do that.
- Wait, don't go without tasting it! - Sebi's here! He gets here and you go? You don't do that with me.
With you? - I'll try it.
- Very well! Give me the plate.
- I can't eat all that.
- Share it with Delfi.
- And the plate? - The house can take the loss.
OK, I'll bring it back.
How could you do this to me? I love you, but in a different way.
Either you love someone or you don't, Celia.
- You cheated on me with my brother! - I didn't cheat on you.
- No? - No! It's a long time since we were together, you've got to find somebody new.
I thought you were playing hard to get, you used me.
Where are you going? Hey! [CELIA.]
You'll stir shit up.
Don't! [TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Why did you tell him like that? - That's how it came out.
Give that fucking dog to Medina.
I'm not giving you any more clothes.
I did so many things for you, things that no one does.
- What did you do for Celia? - Leave him to me! What did you do for her? Talk.
Ask her.
She can tell you.
You can both forget about Manito Forever.
I'm dead to you now.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
[GRUNTS.]
He'll get over it You don't know Manito, he won't forgive me.
[TEO.]
Without him, I have no clothes.
[MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES.]
Hi, love.
- Elena! - What is it? I want to show you something.
What is it? One of Inés's last works.
[EDHA.]
Look! Isn't that the dress I wore for the runway? This was my inspiration.
What is it? What are you thinking? - Do you think I should see him? - Who? My dad.
- Is it OK if I see him? - No It won't do you any good.
That's all.
The phases are all balanced.
I put in a 380 switchboard.
All top class.
Are you OK? Yes.
Are you stupid? We need to be alert! I just saw a suspicious car outside.
Let's do things right.
We all have a job to do.
Are we all good? - We're good.
- Good.
[DA RAMOS.]
A district attorney is ordering you to do it.
No.
Take care of the ruling, and find out Judge Mirolli's sentence.
Perfect, but until he announces the sentence, don't move forward.
And don't forget about the reports on the sweatshops, 8th district.
OK? See you at the attorney general's office.
Hi, love.
I got your message.
I'll bring the diapers.
I'm coming, I haven't smoked all day.
[KNOCKING ON WINDOW.]
- Do you need something? - No, no.
Watch out, at night it gets heavy here.
There are thieves.
[MOTOR STARTS.]
[EDHA.]
Sometimes, seeing what you don't want to see opens your eyes to what you actually need to do.
Inés still shows me the way through her artwork.
Lorenzo, I know what I have to do now.
Call the investors.
We'll do what they asked, but we'll do it my way.
- Medina? - He's inside, go look for him.
Go on.
[RAP MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO.]
[RATTLES DOOR.]
How are you, baby? I'm late with your money.
I'm good for it, you know.
I heard the cops caught you with clothes.
A couple of T-shirts to get by.
[MEDINA.]
I hear you've been telling the cops stuff.
Was that to get by? What did I say? "Medina.
" When the cops leaned on you, you said, "Medina.
" No, I didn't say that.
Really? I don't know you.
That's not how it works.
Did he say "Medina" or not? Yes, he said it.
I didn't say it.
No one says my name.
Like those who can't name God? The Jews.
They can use other names, but they can't say "God.
" Don't bust my balls, Medina.
Tell me if you can wait for the payment or not.
But I didn't say it.
You're screwing me around.
You're ungrateful and you're disrespecting me.
You're lucky you have a nice ass.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
They cut out your tongue? [TELEPHONE RINGS.]
[EDHA.]
Where are you? Shall I wait inside? I'm still working.
[ANTONIO.]
We promised the investors more than we can make.
[EDHA.]
Seriously? I want you here with me.
Can't Florencia go? - [ANTONIO.]
No, she can't.
- I can't believe you're not coming.
Antonio isn't coming.
You're with me.
You don't need anybody else.
Everyone is so dreadfully dressed.
[CHUCKLES.]
It's starting.
[EDHA.]
Now I talk Odette into selling Mom's work.
[BELL SOUNDS.]
I need everybody at work.
Here, resting, sleeping, I don't care.
Bring everyone.
You know how important this job is? Have you seen the state of this factory? It's packed.
It's not big enough.
So you're an engineer now? Do whatever it takes.
Cut the shifts, get more people, get more machines, whatever it takes.
Have you been drinking? [ANTONIO.]
Have you been drinking? What is it? [ANTONIO.]
Go on.
Work.

[EDHA.]
To Odette, art and life were a single entity.
She conceived her body as part of her work.
She put it at risk and danced with death.
She pushed it to its breaking point.
Being close to her is like being close to my mother and to her death.
[EDHA.]
This is not art.
This time is real.
Odette killed herself.
There's nothing beautiful in this death.
It's cold and cruel, like my mother's.
I know she wanted me to see it, to be there, to witness her suicide.
Why? [SCREAMS.]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
[GLASS BREAKS, SCREAMING.]
[SIRENS.]
[ANTONIO.]
We're in a hurry.
OK, OK, OK.
[CAR DOOR SHUTS.]
[EDHA.]
"Your money isn't more important than my inspiration," she said.
She wanted you there.
Odette thought out her work in advance, she set it up.
"Work"? She killed herself.
Without us, her work had no meaning.
What do you mean? I'm saying that there's a message for us in what we saw.
With her artwork, the only thing she did was make us relive your mother's death.
And she prohibited us from selling her work.
There's your message.
Everyone's busy.
The new stuff will have to wait.
No way, Antonio.
We have to get to Fashion Week.
What we had was good.
There's no time to innovate.
We promised a capsule to the investors.
The usual factories are swamped.
The new ones won't finance us.
Let's move forward however we can, Antonio.
Please take her out of the house.
I don't want her locked in here again.
We'll do it here.
- What? - The factory.
The capsule collection is inspired by Inés.
Where better than here? You'll have to talk to your dad first.
Don't you think I'm too old to ask my dad for permission? There are things you don't know.
What things? The sweatshop that burned down worked for us.
FIRE IN SWEATSHOP Manuel Zuñiga, is he your brother? [CELIA SIGHS HEAVILY.]
That's not my brother.
It's what's left of him.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
Let's go.
Hey, you! - [EL PIJA.]
Hey! - Teo.
Teo! You're leaving without saying a word? What do you want me to say? - That you'll take responsibility.
- What? You brother was boss, look what happened.
People work in these shitty sweatshops that catch fire! - My brother was one! - He was foreman! Stop! It's the fault of the company that ran the sweatshop.
- Who do you know in there? - I'm supporting the locals.
It's easy to blame a dead man.
That won't happen here.
I'll make sure of it.
[CELIA.]
Let's go.
[CELIA.]
Let me through, buddy.
[EDHA.]
My father always protected me from the truth.
But secrets come to light sooner or later.
Silent tragedies, anonymous deaths.
People who, somewhere, lose their lives for a label, for a brand.
Until one day someone says "enough" and decides to cross that invisible line, to open up the seams, to step out of the shadows.
